Chapter 566 Report from the front
If Zhou Xu just wrote an explanation for these spices that he had never seen before and asked the kitchen to follow them, he estimated that the kitchen would probably not be able to understand them. .
【I have been here for nearly half the winter, so I just took this opportunity to go back and check out the situation. 】
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu asked directly to the attendant beside him.
“How many days will it take until the energy channel is next opened?”
"Report to the king, there are still three days."
Now the time period for the energy channel to open has basically stabilized at ten days. There are still three days, which is enough for him to arrange things here.
With this thought, Zhou Xu quickly ordered.
"Go and call Bo Levin."
After giving this order to the guard on the side, Zhou Xu turned his head and glanced at the guard on the side.
"Speaking of which, are there any reports from the southern border sent back today?"
Since the beginning of spring, if you want to say what Zhou Xu is most concerned about, it must be the war on the southern border.
The great battle in winter ended with the withdrawal of the Ratmen. Now that the seasons have changed, winter has turned to spring, and Zhou Xu is inevitably worried about whether the Ratmen on the other side will come back.
In fact, according to the intelligence provided by Boleven and the others, the Ratmen would come to their border to harass them every now and then. This also made the Lizardmen always in a state of preparation for war, ready to fight with them at any time. The rat men prepare to fight.
Of course, the Ratmen are not always as grand as before. After all, although the Ratmen are large in scale, they also have to consider the issue of loss.
Most of the time, it is mainly consumption and harassment.
But since it is difficult for them to judge when the rat men will suddenly launch a large-scale attack, the garrison in the south basically does not dare to slack off even for a moment.
"Replying to your Majesty, there is no delivery from the southern border today."
As soon as I finished speaking, the guard outside the door jogged in to report.
"Your Majesty, the pterosaur riders who came back from the southern border have arrived and are waiting outside the palace now."
"Let him come in."
With permission, the pterosaur rider trotted into the hall, covered in dust.
"I see you, Your Majesty!"
During the salute, the pterodactyl rider swiftly presented the sealed bamboo tube in his hands.
“This is the report Captain Li Ce ordered his subordinates to bring back.”
Zhou Xu didn't need to say anything. The attendant walked quickly and took the bamboo tube, then turned around and handed it into Zhou Xu's hand.
With the help of Wang Dong, although they had already established a papermaking workshop in Dazhou, they successfully produced paper and put it into use smoothly.
However, taking into account the toughness and durability, important military newspapers like this still prefer to use animal skins and stuff them into bamboo tubes to ensure safety, so as to avoid fragile paper appearing during transportation. Possibility of damage.
Unplugging the plug from the bamboo tube and pouring the report out, Zhou Xu unfolded the animal skin and quickly read it.
What he was worried about before happened now.
According to what Li Ce wrote in the report, the rat army recently appeared outside their southern border and launched a harassment offensive against them.
Fortunately, Thoros is here, and he has rich experience in fighting the Ratmen. With Thoros taking command, several harassment attacks by the Ratmen were easily resolved by them. For now, everything is stable on the southern border.
In the temple, just after Zhou Xu finished reading the report, Bo Levin arrived.
“We’ve arrived just in time. The rat troops are harassing the southern border again. What do you think of this matter?”
As Zhou Xu spoke, he asked this question to Bo Levin, and at the same time, his eyes fell on the other party.
It has only been half a winter since Bo Levin made the decision to lose weight. It is undoubtedly unrealistic to expect the other party to directly lose weight.
Although at first glance, he is still a fat man, it has to be said that he has lost weight. At least he is not out of breath after walking a few steps.
Bolewen, who didn’t know what their king was thinking during this period, was all thinking about the question that their king asked him just now.
If Zhou Xu wanted to ask about other things, it was hard for them to say, but if he wanted to ask about the rat people, there would be absolutely nothing wrong with them calling themselves experts.
It is no exaggeration to say that as soon as those stinky rats poked their butts, he knew whether they were about to poop or fart.
“Your Majesty, according to my subordinates’ understanding, although the Ratmen are numerous and reproduce quickly, they cannot fully recover their strength so quickly after just experiencing the great battle in winter. There is a high probability that they will only send out a small force to harass and consume us, and we can easily deal with it according to the strength of the troops at the border."
Speaking of this, Bollevin pondered for a few seconds.
“According to my estimation, after suffering the losses in winter, and taking into account the losses in daily consumption, if the Ratmen want to launch a decent offensive again, they will have to wait until summer, or even autumn, no matter how soon.”< br>
Hearing this, Zhou Xu nodded.
At this time, Bollevin's thoughts were basically the same as those of Soros mentioned in Li Ce's report.
Of course, he would not completely relax because of this, but he should not be too nervous.
After all, for the lizard people, war with the rat men is completely normal, so they have long been accustomed to fighting with the rat men no matter what.
If the rat man immediately tensed up every time he moved his troops, then he would have to tire himself to death by then?
In this regard, Zhou Xu himself is actually mentally prepared for this, but it may take some time for him to adapt to such a state of 'normalized war'.
After briefly discussing the battle situation on the front line with Bo Levin, Zhou Xu quickly turned the topic to business.
He ordered Bollevin to come here, not to discuss this with him, but...
"Bolevin, the energy channel will be opened in three days, and I plan to return to the other side. During my absence, some of the daily affairs here will be temporarily left to you to handle."
Hearing this, I thought that my efforts were finally recognized by their king. Levin suddenly became excited.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! I promise to complete the mission!"
It is not without reason that Bo Levin dares to be so confident at this time.
Although judging from the attribute panel, it is true that he is a spell-type general, it does not mean that he cannot do other things at all, and it is not that extreme.
You know, before Zhou Xu came here, Bolaiwen had always been the de facto supreme ruler of the lizard people.
He had been handling internal affairs, and after so many years, there had been no problems.
Now facing the task assigned by their king, they are naturally confident.
